Weekly Meal Plan Idea 3

I got this idea when people always ask me “where is the protein?” I know every living thing has protein and I shouldn’t need to justify myself but I really like edamame and that is a clear answer. Edamame texture is a lovely crunch and the sweet tangy onions as well as the red pepper just add flavor to the creation. For an extra carbohydrate boost I added some crazy corn, mostly because I like it a lot.

For this recipe you will need:

1 package of shelled edamame

1 white or red onion (diced or sliced)

1 red pepper (diced)

4-6 cloves of minced garlic

8 oz of frozen corn

2 tbsp of bragg’s Liquid aminos or oyster sauce

1/2 a lemon (juice)

2 tbsp of cold pressed olive oil

Salt and Pepper.

Pour the oil into a wok and bring the heat to medium-high. When warm, add the garlic and onion and mix. The garlic should turn a light toasty brown about 2 minutes or so.

Add the Edamame, corn and pepper. Mix the contents of the wok by tossing vegetables. I like to use chopsticks.

Add the liquid aminos (or oyster sauce) and toss until pepper is desired texture. I prefer mine a bit crunchy so it takes about 3-5 minutes.

Squeeze the lemon all over the stirfry and add the salt and pepper to taste.
